Prayer: A Standing Place From Which to Move the World

Prayer2It is prayer that gives healthy arterial blood to the spiritual man, and makes him a power for righteousness that surpasses an army of prayerless Christians. It is by prayer that the man of God takes hold of unseen spiritual forces that originate at the throne of God, and move, shake, and control the world in the interests of grace and salvation, of faith and active godliness. Oh, for an army of praying fathers and mothers! Oh, for a cohort of praying Luthers, Whitefields, and Wesleys! Oh, for a band of men and women like Simeon and Anna, to spend days and nights in prayer; for such as these find what Archimedes vainly sought, a standing place from which to move the world, and then should we witness, even in our day, the birth-throes of Pentecost. (J. H. Vincent D. D., How to Conduct Prayer-Meetings, pages 41 and 42)

We strive to become a praying church. A handful of us will meet this Friday morning at 8am. And we meet every Sunday morning at 9:30am. You are invited to join us, and pray.
